Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a metabolic disorder characterized by the buildup of protoporphyrin, which is a light-sensitive substance. Individuals with EPP often experience severe pain from light exposure.
In this study, researchers developed a wearable light dosimeter both to improve quality of life in patients with EPP and to capture light exposure data for future EPP clinical trials. The dosimeters work by continuously capturing light doses of UVA, blue, and red wavelengths. The team tested the devices among five individuals with EPP, each wearing two light dosimeters—one as a watch, and one as a shirt clip—for three weeks.
Results show that wearable blue light dosimetry worn as a wristband is a promising method for measuring light exposure, as well as predicting and preventing symptoms in EPP.

Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked protoporphyria (XLP) are inherited, metabolic disorders characterized by the buildup of protoporphyrins (substances that bind metals to form complexes, such as the iron found in red blood cells). In addition to phototoxicity (severe pain during light exposure), patients with EPP and XLP often experience liver dysfunction. However, there is a lack of published information on the management of liver disease in these patients.
In this study, researchers established evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and management of liver disease in protoporphyrias. A group of 15 clinicians from the Porphyrias Consortium—with expertise in porphyrias and hepatology, hematology, and genetics—conducted a systematic literature review to develop new recommendations.
The resulting guidelines address important clinical topics in protoporphyrias and liver disease, including interventions and therapies based on severity. Authors note that these guidelines may not only improve patient care, but also inspire new collaborative research.

Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked protoporphyria (XLP) are rare, inherited, metabolic disorders characterized by build-up of porphyrins. Porphyrins are substances that bind metals to form complexes, such as the iron found in red blood cells. The hallmark symptoms include phototoxicity (severe pain during light exposure) and photosensitivity (skin hyperreactivity to light). Due to the rarity of EPP and XLP, physicians often have limited expertise with these disorders, which can lead to delays in diagnosis. In this study, researchers developed evidence-based consensus guidelines for the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of EPP and XLP. First, the team conducted a systematic literature review. Next, they divided topics among subcommittees of experts to reach a consensus on guidelines. The new guidelines discuss biochemical and genetic testing for diagnosis, prevention of symptoms, management of acute phototoxicity, and pharmacologic (drug or medication) and non-pharmacologic treatment options. Researchers also discuss management, including the importance of ongoing monitoring, guidance on pregnancy and surgery, and the safety of other therapies. Authors note that these guidelines can aid in early diagnosis and management of these disorders.
